2. Super Prompts: The Strategic Bridge
While Control Panels establish the rules, Super Prompts define the project strategy. These scaffolds ensure the AI understands the legal strategy and evidentiary requirements of a specific project, allowing for consistent execution across multiple conversation turns.
Implementation Modes: How to Deploy Strategy
These prompts are designed for simple cut-and-paste use to give you an immediate strategic advantage. For professional-grade alignment throughout a complex case, we recommend the following modes :
Professional Mode 1: The Tactical Reference Paste the prompt text into a simple text file (.txt or .pdf) . Attach this file to your chat session and provide this instruction: "Reference the attached 'Super Prompt Strategy' for every action in this conversation. All subsequent task prompts must be executed in strict adherence to this strategy".
Professional Mode 2: Professional Tailoring & Expansion The scaffolds below serve as high-performance starting points. For our clients, we typically modify and expand these prompts to be more tailored to the needs of the individual client as far as output and format. This level of tailoring ensures the AI accounts for a firm’s specific practice area nuances, case-specific legal theories, and exact risk tolerances while effectively preventing the prompt decay that occurs in long sessions.
